Step-by-Step Guide to Properly Install a V-Part Wig

You may be wondering, ‘How hard can this be?’

Installing a V-part wig is a breeze and much easier than you think. Let’s get started on this step-by-step guide on everything you need to know to get started.

Tools You Need

Don’t fret yet - you do not need a lot of hairstyling tools to get your V-part wig on. Below are all you need:

• Wide-Tooth Comb
• Edge Control or Gel
• Bobby Pins (optional)
• Wig Grip Band (optional)
• Hair Straightener or Curling Wand
• A Mirror

Preparing Your Natural Hair

This process is straightforward. Here’s what you should do:

• Start by washing your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner.
  
  
• Braid your hair into cornrows, but leave out a small section at the front since a V-part wig allows for a leave-out.

Installing the V-Part Wig

Now, the main task is installing the wig properly. Below is a two-step breakdown of what you should do:

• Hold the wig by the sides of the V-part opening and gently place it on your head, positioning the V-part over the section of your natural hair you parted earlier.
  
  
• Use the combs attached to the wig to secure it.

Securing the Wig

The next step is to ensure the wig is secured and will not move erratically over time. How do you do this?

• Adjust the straps at the back of the wig to make sure it fits snugly on your head. Remember, you don’t want it too tight, but it should feel secure.

Styling and Blending the Wig

The key to making any wig look flawless is styling and blending.

Remember, you still have a small section of your natural hair out. Here’s how you can blend and style your V-part wig to perfection:

• Start by blending the hair you left out of the V-part and blending it with the wig’s hair. To do this, use a rat-tail comb to part the hair into two tiny bits and comb them against the wig’s hair until they are well blended.
  
  
• Use a hair straightener, flat iron, or curling wand to straighten or curl your natural hair to match its texture with the wig’s hair.
  
  
• Grab your edge control or gel and define your baby hair for a more sleek and polished look. What if you have stubborn, thick edges? The Private Label edge control products provide a strong hold, add shine to your edges, and, most importantly, leave you without the tell-tale flaky residue associated with most edge control or gel products.

Styling Tips for Securing Your Wig and Ensure a Natural Look

Are you worried about your V-part wig not staying put or looking natural?

Here are easy styling tips for securing your wig and ensuring a natural look. 

Using Bobby Pins

Bobby Pins can be a girl’s best friend when it comes right down to it.

If your wig feels a bit too loose, grab some bobby pins and use them to secure them, especially around the parting or sides. This ensures that everything stays in place and feels secure all day long.

Using a Wig Grip Band

Although not often discussed, a wig grip band can be a lifesaver if you struggle with a loose wig.

A wig gripper is a band that sits firmly around your head, just like a headband. The wig gripper provides a surface for your wig to ‘grab’ onto. 

Adjusting Wig Strap

Most wigs have adjustable straps at the back, so if you are unsure about how secure your wig is, make sure to adjust the strap for a snug fit.

This will keep your wig from feeling loose or uncomfortable throughout the day.

Parting and Defining Baby Hairs

For that natural, ‘is-she-wearing-a-wig-or-not?’ look, parting and defining your baby hairs is critical. Make sure your part is well straightened, and also take a moment to determine your baby hairs with some edge control.

Trust me, this extra step makes all the difference and gives you an effortlessly chic look. 

Why to Choose a V-Part Wig

If you are wondering why choosing V-part wigs are all the rage nowadays, below are some of the reasons why you should choose one:

Natural Appearance

One of the most significant benefits of a V-part wig is its natural look.

It blends seamlessly by leaving out a small section of your natural hair, making it nearly impossible for anyone to tell you're wearing a wig, especially when it matches your hair texture.

Beginner-Friendly

V-part wigs are a favorite because you don’t have to worry about a complicated lace-cutting process or gluing down edges!

They're especially perfect for beginners who want something quick and easy to install without sacrificing style or time.

Quick Installation

It’s no secret that V-part wigs are quick and easy to install.

If you’re always on the go, you’ll appreciate how fast and easy throwing on this type of wig is.

Low Maintenance Option

V-part wigs rank high on the list of low-maintenance wig options.

Unlike lace front wigs, you won’t have to worry about lace lifting or constant touch-ups. Just install, blend the natural hair perfectly, style, even accessorize, and go!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear my V-part wig without leave out?

Yes, you can wear your V-part without a leave-out. However, it may not look as natural as when you have a leave-out.

The point of a V-part is to blend a small section of your natural hair with the wig for that flawless finish.

What’s the difference between a V-part wig and a U-part wig?

While both wigs expose a section of your natural hair, the main difference lies in the shape of the parting.

A V-part wig has a narrower opening than a U-part wig, which allows for a more natural appearance that isn’t too obvious. 

Can I heat style or dye my V-part wig?

Absolutely! You can always heat-style or dye your V-part wig.

However, you may need to check the quality of the wig. Synthetic wigs are not as durable as human hair wigs; the latter works just like your real hair, so you can always dye or use a heat style.
